"Innumerable women, less time"

Words written

Behind, at the back of the car.

My husband

expressed himself like a good friend

forefinger pointing on the sign;

at a traffic crossing.

Married, I was new

What an unpleasant surprise

the truth

that was, his

"Only real pleasure"

Author's Notes/Comments: 

It is impossible for the male to avoid ego trips! He repeats his mistakes. His anchor is his wife who gets to recover the shock as from the time she walks in; a new bride

(repost for clarity)

A man and his ego are closer than a man and his new bride.
This Ego is a constant companion, which is disguises dress
in fancy garb of called 'Honor'. An Ego is some men's only Honor.

Often at central market the women would stop and
squeeze the fuits, I thought they where squeezing them
Actually they where feeling them for firm ripeness and
testing their readyness to eat. I was new to shopping
so I follow their lead and not being a cook squeezed
the ripe tomatos and was reprimanded for bruising the
produce. The beautiful oriental woman with the delicate almond eyes, snaps at me and said:

"You, stop it - you bruised the tomato, go! I turned
with surprise and she must have noticed that I was loosing face, she walks over to me and said, "Sorry, everyone comes, squeese the tomato's and leave, then I
have to throw box away, don't squeeze, just you hold fruit
firmly like your wife, see - then you no damage fruit!"

Jayti,

An ego: it is the only fruit worth bruising.
